Right. Also udisks doesn't have the chance to interact with the user since it is a system daemon.

The version of the udisks2 package is 2.1.3-1. I changed the UID of a user on my system from 1001 to something else. After the change, the ACL permissions on /media/<username> still reflected the old UID. After I deleted the directory and inserted a usb thumbdrive, the directory was recreated with the correct acl permissions. ACLs after UID change but before removing the directory: $ getfacl /media/rat getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: media/rat # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:1001:r-x group::--- mask::r-x other::--- After removing the dir, inserting a thumb drive, and then removing the thumb drive: $ getfacl /media/rat getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: media/rat # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:rat:r-x group::--- mask::r-x other::--- Since udisks controls the /media directory, shouldn't it just verify and update the permissions of the directory?
